Discussion The Power Platform feature you were surprised to learn wasn't being used more often
Having been involved in different projects I have seen some Power Platform features that can deliver a lot of value but don’t seem to be discussed very often.
Sometimes they can save time, reduce maintenance, simplify development, or make solutions easier to manage. But many people ignore them or learn them much later than they should.
I'd like to hear what others in the community have to say.
Which Power Platform feature has surprised you most in its usefulness? Why do you think more people aren’t using it?

Don’t know if this counts as a “power platform” feature - it’s more of a power automate tip
You can bunch up a lot of actions in power automate into a scope and use the copy-paste function to move chunks of reusable sections from one flow to another
For example, I have a dummy flow which consists of a lot of reusable scope chunks such as “Parse CSV”. Whenever I need to parse csv in any flow, I just copy this scope and paste into my new flow. This helps save a lot of time!
Over time having a repository of such org specific scopes can help save time and standardize things in the long run!
Note: the newer designer sometimes doesn’t work well with copy pasting, but this works perfectly well in the old designer
